The total should be $56.16

First, find how much how much 20% off of 65 would be.

20/100 • 65 = 13

So you have to subtract 13 from 65
65-13=52

So with the 20% discount the price will be $52.

Next find out how much the sales tax will be.
52 • 8/100 = 4.16

The sales tax is 4.16. Add the sales tax with the price of the shoes.
52 + 4.16 = 56.16

Therefore, the total including the sales tax is $56.16.
